A introdução da Nova GestĂŁo PĂșblica trouxe os princĂpios do setor privado para a gestĂŁo pĂșblica, promovendo maior eficiĂȘncia, transparĂȘncia e responsabilização dos gestores. Este modelo alargou a
responsabilidade, abrangendo nĂŁo sĂł os recursos financeiros, mas tambĂ©m a eficiĂȘncia e a eficĂĄcia das
açÔes pĂșblicas. Como resultado, surgiram novas necessidades de informação, impulsionando a reforma
da contabilidade pĂșblica para melhorar a qualidade da informação e a tomada de decisĂ”es. A
contabilidade pĂșblica tornou-se essencial para garantir a transparĂȘncia e a responsabilização,
respondendo Ă s expectativas sociais e contribuindo para a legitimidade das entidades pĂșblicas. Ă neste
Ăąmbito que se desenvolve este estudo, com o objetivo de investigar se a ação dos dirigentes polĂticos
nos municĂpios portugueses estĂĄ alinhada com os princĂpios de legalidade, eficiĂȘncia econĂłmica e
transparĂȘncia, ou se Ă© influenciada por ciclos eleitorais. A opção pelos municĂpios Ă© justificada pela sua
estrutura de funcionamento autĂŽnoma e pela proximidade aos cidadĂŁos. A metodologia deste estudo
segue uma abordagem quantitativa. A população Ă© constituĂda pelos 308 municĂpios de Portugal, sem
restrição de amostra, garantindo total representatividade. Esta abordagem permitirå identificar
tendĂȘncias e padrĂ”es em todo o paĂs, sem limitaçÔes relacionadas com a dimensĂŁo da amostra. As
fontes de dados são primårias e secundårias, designadamente através de inquéritos por questionårio e
anĂĄlise dos relatĂłrios financeiros dos municĂpios, abrangendo os anos de 2012 a 2023. Para a anĂĄlise
dos dados serĂŁo utilizadas tĂ©cnicas estatĂsticas, nomeadamente estatĂstica descritiva e comparativa.
Os resultados mostram que os municĂpios de maior dimensĂŁo tĂȘm custos de pessoal significativamente
mais elevados devido Ă necessidade de serviços mais complexos. A ideologia polĂtica tambĂ©m influencia
as despesas, com os municĂpios de direita a tenderem a gastar menos do que os de esquerda. AlĂ©m
disso, os anos de eleiçÔes estão associados a um aumento das despesas com pessoal, refletindo um
possĂvel impacto das eleiçÔes. As mudanças de governo resultam frequentemente em variaçÔes nas
despesas, especialmente relacionadas com a gestĂŁo dos recursos humanos. A crise econĂłmica afeta
as despesas, mas, em geral, tem-se verificado uma tendĂȘncia ascendente ao longo do tempo.
The introduction of New Public Management brought the principles of the private sector into public management, promoting greater efficiency, transparency and accountability for managers. This model broadened responsibility, covering not only financial resources, but also the efficiency and effectiveness of public actions. As a result, new information needs have arisen that have driven the reform of public accounting to improve the quality of information and decision-making. Public accounting has become essential to guarantee transparency and accountability, respond to social expectations and contribute to the legitimacy of public organizations. It is in this context that this study was carried out, with the aim of investigating whether the actions of the political leaders of Portuguese municipalities are aligned with the principles of legality, economic efficiency and transparency, or whether they are influenced by electoral cycles. The choice of municipalities is justified by their autonomous structure and proximity to citizens. The methodology of this study follows a quantitative approach. The population is made up of Portugal's 308 municipalities, with no sample restriction, guaranteeing total representativeness. This approach will make it possible to identify trends and patterns throughout the country, without limitations related to the size of the sample. The data sources are primary and secondary, namely through questionnaire surveys and analysis of the municipalities' financial reports, covering the years 2012 to 2023. Statistical techniques will be used to analyse the data, namely descriptive and comparative statistics. The results show that larger municipalities have significantly higher staff costs due to the need for more complex services. Political ideology also influences spending, with right-wing municipalities tending to spend less than left-wing ones. In addition, election years are associated with an increase in staff costs, reflecting a possible impact of the elections. Changes of government often result in variations in spending, especially related to human resource management. The economic crisis affects spending, but in general there has been an upward trend over time.
